Design Tester at Bungie
Do you spend your free time trying to figure out how to break the games you’re playing? Do you see those bugs in games that none of your friends notice until you point them out? Are you obsessed with finding clever ways to combine items and abilities to become the most powerful? Do you like breaking things and letting people know how you did it? We may have a job for you.
Testers at Bungie are grouped into teams, responsible for ensuring that an area of the game is ready to ship. This involves ad-hoc testing, flawlessly executing test passes, rigorous attention to detail, and amazing communication skills. You will work with your lead on a day-to-day basis to determine how to most effectively use your skills.
Design Testers fully understand our design and desired player experience. They leverage this knowledge to find those bugs that frustrate and diminish players’ enjoyment of Destiny. They are articulate advocates for Destiny players. Design Testers have a huge responsibility and a huge amount of work, thus they are able to leverage scripting to automate portions of their manual work.
